Abstract
A 16-year-old girl presented with swelling and heaviness on the right side of her chest and progressive dyspnoea since 20 days. Radiological examination revealed a mass lesion in the right lower zone with right-sided massive pleural effusion and rib erosion. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry were suggestive of Ewing’s sarcoma. We reported this case because of the uncommon presentation of this rare tumour and its associated pleural effusion. Early diagnosis of this case led to favourable outcomes.
Highlights
Ewing’s sarcoma (ES) is a malignant neoplasm that accounts for about 1% of all childhood cancers and primarily involves the bone or soft tissue [1]
These tumours mostly arise from the long bones but can arise from virtually any bone or soft tissue [2]
We report a case of ES in a 16-year-old girl who presented with a chest wall mass causing pleural effusion without any complaints of pain at the local site
